some interesting ideas but very boring book. i appreciate when a novel set in new york moves beyond manhattan but this author describes all of brooklyn like it’s suburban williamsburg when crown heights/bedstuy are like. not that lol.

the book description sounded so interesting, i have rarely been so disappointed by a book. it managed to stay strangely superficial while trying to ask profound questions (emphasis on trying).

this book felt obnoxiously pretentious, wannabe pompous, and the author made the characters nothing but annoying. i can’t stand neither Eve nor Nathan. especially in the beginning, Olivia seemed more like a caricature of a human being than an actual person. although she and Fatima were the only characters in this book i didn’t hate.

almost DNF this, but i’m glad i read the whole thing, because at least now i can confidently say that i won’t be recommending this book to anyone ever.
